The issue is that it just becomes a “bad at everything” tarpit.

- performance is awful.

- gradual typing is sort of ok, but relies too much on runtime behaviour.

- async support is a bit all over the place.

- uv has made the packaging experience sort of liveable, but collectively it’s still very limited: feature support, conditional dependencies, rudimentary tree shaking, cargo-style workspaces, etc.

In an era where your options of tech stack are freer than ever, unless you explicitly need PyTorch, I’m not really sure why you’d choose Python over literally everything else.

The problem is that it’s market or care and respect. If you can’t even be bothered to while a simple readme communication your intentions, what else can’t you be bothered doing properly?

It’s a marker that the project is likely to be low-effort slop, which may or may not just be abandoned at the deep of a hat.

I think the commenter above is making the point that this should be defence-in-depth.

Yes, of course use good encryption and auth{n,z}, but _also_ layer on restrictions at the network layer to stop general traffic from even getting there.

One of us! One of us!

If your app, is the only one running, and the whole kernel is a library, you can simply have said library instrumented with as much observability as you need, directly and you now no longer need to worry about which processes are using cpu and IO because…it’s all you.

Let me know when your local OS does multi-machine scheduling across heterogeneous hardware and application constraints, networking, observability, service accounts and a finer grained permissions system, in a way that’s far less confusing and piecemeal.

Also, this argument only works if you just broaden the definition of “OS” to “anything that runs that isn’t your apps”.

“Congratulations, your small hobby subreddit has been chosen as a default subreddit! Prepare to reap the rewards of 1000x the amount of:

- traffic.

- low efforts posts.

- users who won’t read or respect the rules and culture.

There’s an SCP story like that.

World only survives, in realities where this particular creature in containment is alive. I’ll see if I can dig it up.

“Well you see, it’s better because of the fact the _we_ do it!” - Cloudflare, probably.

Oopsy, MBA-holder detected!!

Simply holding an overrated degree doesn’t instantly guarantee that their opinions and skills are “worthwhile” or “good”.

I’ve watched my work go absolutely ballistic for AI-ing all the things.

Lots of code gets written, that much is certain. A lot of slopped out PowerPoint presentations which are just worse to read than human-written ones. We have _not_ magically accelerated delivery times and the product which is 99% vibe-coded perpetually has “oh that’s weird” bugs. An obscene amount of effort is being poured into internal tooling, 90% of which is reinventing existing tooling. Important to note that the internal tooling isn’t actually usable or helpful in building the product, but we are pouring eye watering amounts of cash into it.

This is very misleading. Person B didn’t “shoot” person A, they instead figured out that intersecting A’s spatial position with a metallic mass at higher than normal velocities would solve the challenge and of getting “A” to stop being in the way on the footpath.

I too, can play linguistic games! It doesn’t matter that someone didn’t secure their third upstairs window, or you borrowed a key from their neighbour, you effectively, still, broke into their house.

Pointing junkies at new data centres might be the socio-economic uplift of the decade!
